Future Life
In the past, people could know how their children would live. Now things are changing so quickly. So we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. Here is how scientists see what the life will be like in twenty years.
You’re sitting in your car, but you are not driving. That’s OK. The car can go without a driver, and with its computers and cameras. Your car can know how to get your home safely. You’re hungry, so you go to the kitchen as soon as you get home. You ask for some food by computer. And now they’ve arrived. Your kitchen has a two-way refrigerator (冰箱). It opens to the outside to receive things for you. You've already paid for food. You can pay the money from your bank. Nobody uses cash (现金). What’s for lunch? In the old days, you often stopped to buy food in the street. Now you use a small machine. It has found out you need more vegetables and less fat. So your food-cooking machine makes you a salad. After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work. Thanks to your new computer, you almost never go into the office any more.
The computer shows a message from a worker of your office in another country. Your computer puts his words into English. As you wait, you think about what to do at night. If you want to see a film, you can stay at home and see any film. The films are sent to you on the Internet. What film do you want to see this evening?
